- Fact: EntreCard Credits are like Schrute Bucks
Before I begin, let me say that I enjoy both Dwight Schrute and EntreCard. Now, let me explain my assertion. On The Office (US version), Dwight Schrute creates Schrute Bucks as a way to motivate his coworkers to perform well. (If you’re not familiar with Dwight, you should know that he is an insufferable [...]
Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:34:13 +0000 - You Can’t Buy a Piece of My Heart, but…
You can buy a piece of my sidebar! Yes, you can now purchase a square (125 x 125) in my sidebar, under the clearly labeled “Paid Adverts” heading. Ads will be auctioned through Project Wonderful. We’ll see how it goes. If you’d like to share your experience with the Project Wonderful system, I’d love [...]

Here is something my kindergartener said to me recently. It made me laugh, so I wanted to share it. GeekBoy: “Mommy, do you know how I could tell the baby was awake?” GeekMom: “How did you know, Punkin?” GeekBoy: “I heard her through the baby ther-monitor.”

Have you seen the new ultra-thin laptop from Apple? It looks amazing! Even when it’s all folded up, the MacBook Air (sounds kind of like a shoe by Nike) is just 0.76 inches wide. I was trying to visualize that, and I stacked up a couple of CD jewel cases on my desk and got [...]
Wed, 16 Jan 2008 20:42:14 +0000 - Excellent Service Deserves a Shout Out
I have to give a short update to my previous post on the CommentLuv plugin. I installed CommentLuv to provide an automatic backlink to my commenters, and wanted to make sure it was working properly as a dofollow link. First of all, the plugin author, Andy Bailey, showed up on his own to test the plugin, [...]
Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:36:37 +0000 - I Am SOOO Not “With It”
I was talking with another mom (name withheld to protect the un-cool) yesterday, and she said she had asked her favorite babysitter where Hollister is. She’d been noticing a lot of the young people wearing shirts from Hollister, and figured it must be a popular place to visit. The teenager (a very sweet 18 year old) [...]

I have been looking at dozens of blogs lately, thanks to EntreCard and my obsessive-compulsive disorder. (That’s a whole other post.) I have found some really interesting sites, with great stories and helpful articles. I’m talking with people and making friends. I’m stumbling and subscribing. This is blogging at its best! However, there are some [...]
Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:39:53 +0000 - I Want My BSG!
That’s Battlestar Galactica, for those of you who are wondering what BSG is. I’m a huge fan of the show, and the next and final season starts in March. I’m dying with anticipation! I wish I had a date to put on my calendar, so I could have a proper countdown, but that’s all it [...]

Wow! This Hercules laser looks amazing. Besides that, I’m sure it has some very useful, scientific, real-world applications. Among the capabilities listed on the Laserglow site, it is visible in direct sun, can light a fireworks fuse, pop a balloon, cut through electrical tape, and even burn through plastic. Well, what the heck have I been [...]
Sat, 12 Jan 2008 15:26:56 +0000 - I’m not sure what to think about pay-per-post
I don’t want to offend anyone here, but I guess I might. It seems that Pay-Per-Post (PPP) badges are popping up on blogs everywhere. I understand that most bloggers are hoping to make some money. I know what kind of time goes into writing posts and maintaining a site, not to mention that most bloggers [...]
